The M43 Gymnasterka: A Dissection Of Attributes

[Rikkert]

Is this gymnasterka wartime or post war?

[Rikkert]

anyone?

The gymnasterka are sometimes difficult to date. The one with the simple pockets which indicates a manufacture between 1943 and 1948 (after one of the pockets with two compartments). The cloth looks old and the collar has been repaired surely due to wear. See if the buttons have markings on the reverse. But I look good and I think of a late war making.

Thank you for the information!
